Hi everyone,
Something crazy in me has decided to start another project, Lobethal 1938 (South Australia, a little East of Adelaide). I had had a quick dabble with Lobethal not long after i had started my Longford project, but i quickly set it aside, despite how obviously awesome the track was. I don't live anywhere near there, never been there, and the project would clearly take a long time to complete. Longford took 18 months for 7km, Lobethal is 14km! But, here i am.
I might ask for help at some point. Like now. Is anyone interested in helping out with modeling some of the buildings in the town? I don't know how many of the currently standing buildings are from the period, but there should be a couple worth starting on.
Anyway, here is a link with an article by Ray Bell on Lobethal: http://tasman-series.com/misc/lostcircuits/lobethal/lobethal.asp - includes a modern photgraphic tour of the circuit.

and after about two weeks work, an alpha version preview vid, just for kicks :
If anyone is interested, this doesn't mean i've signed off on Longford either, it's only v0.9 after all.
